9TH u"ny statements have appeared in our paper

carried on so many prominent men IN 1886.

We are told that If the kidneys arc main

universal diseases cNused ny uric acid will, in
a large measure, disappear.
But now shall this b. done? It is folly to
treat effects If there 10 any known way Of
getting at the cause, that way should be known
to the public. We bel eve that Warmers safe

90 much talked OF by the public generally, is
now recognized by impartial physicians and
the public Is the ono specific for such {, seases.

1t ID astonishing what COOL opinions you
hear on every siuo of that great remedy, aud
perlence has all the weight and importance of
absolute truth.
At this time of the year the uric acid in the
blood invites pneumonia and rheumatism, aud
there Is not q man who does not dread these
monsters of disease; but he need have no fear
o. them. we are told, if he rid the blood of the
uric acid cause.
These words are strong, and NAV sound like
an advertisement and be rejected as such by
unthiDking people, but we believe they are the
truth, and as such should be spoken by every
trulh-loving newspaper.
